Per Mertesacker is entrusted with the job of collecting fines from Arsenal players in breach of club discipline but the German may find himself going cap in hand to manager Arsene Wenger for his place in the team.

We round up who had a fantastic weekend of sport, and those who had a terrible one.

GOOD WEEK

Leyton OrientWho said the FA Cup had lost its spark? Not Orient supporters. The League One side were in dream land as Jonathan Tehoue danced past Arsenal's defence to equalise Tomas Rosicky's goal for the Gunners, which has set up an unlikely and lucrative replay.Orient manager Russell Slade said: "That's our seventh game in the FA Cup, we nearly went out in the first round, but to hang in there...it's the same in the league, it's one defeat in 21. You have to be happy with that."

EvertonThree-times FA Cup winner and scorer of the winning penalty against Chelsea, Everton's Phil Neville will never forget the day he sent his side through to the last 16 at Stamford Bridge.With the score at 1-1 after extra-time, the defender drilled his penalty past Petr Cech to earn Everton a 4-3 spot-kick triumph - and Neville always knew he'd convert the ball from 12 yards."The manager [David Moyes] told us to hit it as hard as we can," said Neville. "I knew I was going to score."

Virender SehwagBest individual performance of the weekend? India's Virender Sehwag.The batsman struck a massive 175 as India beat Bangladesh in the opening game of the cricket World Cup. He hit 14 fours and five sixes on his way to the match-winning knock. It was Sehwag's 14th one-day century.

Manchester CityThere was no upset at Eastlands in the Cup, however, as Manchester City ran in five goals to knock Notts County out."For us it's important to try and arrive in the [Cup] final if it's possible. This is our target," said an ambitious Roberto Mancini.

Azizulhasni AwangMost astonishing story of the weekend? The Malaysian rider, Awang, winning bronze in the keirin final in Manchester.During the race, Awang's calf was pierced by a 20cm splinter but, bravely, he got back up and won the medal. The 23-year-old was then taken for surgery.Awang later posted on his Titter account: "Operation done. Splinter taken out cleanly. Thanks for the prayer and support." A truly remarkable tale.

BAD WEEK

FulhamAfter beating Tottenham in glorious style in the previous round, Fulham disappointingly slipped out of the FA cup at the hands of Bolton Wanderers at Craven Cottage on Sunday.Ivan Klasnic's first-half goal was eventually enough to ensure Bolton's progression to the quarter-final stage. "Credit to them," Fulham manager, Mark Hughes, said. "They got a lot of men behind the ball, made some key tackles, and we found it difficult to break them down."

Carlo AncelottiThe Chelsea manager is treading a thin line at Stamford Bridge, and another loss in mid-week against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League may even spell the end of his West London tenure, yet Ancelotti remained defiant after his side's defeat to Everton.Would he resign before the next game? "No, not me," he replied. "I don't have to consider my position. It is the owner [Roman Abramovich] that has to do that, not myself." Win this week, Carlo, or your days could be numbered.

British athletesHeartbreak for two British athletes: Britain's Harry Aikines-Aryeetey may miss the European Indoor Championships, which take place in Paris from 4 March, after sustaining a torn hamstring in the 60m final at the Birmingham Grand Prix.And to compound British misery, Kelly Sotherton couldn't make the sub 53-second time needed in the 400m to secure a placed in the French capital. "That's rubbish," the 34-year-old said of her time of 53.70. "I won't go home and cry about it," she added." I know there's plenty to work on."

CanadaThe cricket World Cup is up and running and the minnows are suffering. Canada suffered a heavy defeat to Sri Lanka in their opening Group A game. Mahela Jayawardene was the star, striking the fastest World Cup 100 by a Sri Lankan, as his team thrashed Canada by 210 runs.

KenyaThe East African country were also given a thrashing, losing to New Zealand by 10 wickets. Kenya made just 69 runs as only Seren Waters, Collins Obuya and Rakep Patel reaching double figures. Hamish Bennett bowled well for New Zealand, taking a brilliant 4-16 while team-mates Timothy Southee and Jacob Oram both took three. And Kenya were then completely eclipsed by New Zealand's 72 without loss in reply - it took New Zealand just eight overs to polish off the required runs.
